To your comment, you just made. I mean, your client's a lawyer, so it might be less liability putting him on the stand,
00:00:05
but he's also a confessed liar. He's also a convicted felon. Does that change your viewpoint of the fact that yeah, he
00:00:12
has a legal background, but still putting him on the stand, I mean, he's he's lied in the past. The reason I said
00:00:18
he's a lawyer is because what any client, as you know, is their decision. You know, I can give my legal advice,
00:00:24
but you know, whether to do it or not do it. And we're wait I mean, that's something a decision
00:00:29
be made a week before a trial at preliminary hearing. So, we're you know, we're ways
00:00:35
away from that. He could decide the day before he goes on the stand. Yes. >> He could decide the day of. I mean,
00:00:41
the judge always you know, have them stand up and say you decided to testify or not to you know, is that your
00:00:46
decision? And walk through I mean, they go through warnings on it. So, and I've had clients that have changed their mind
00:00:52
on the day of the trial. So, it I can't project that and I can't project what our strategy will be.
00:00:58
What what what we do know is what the state's witnesses are going to say, which we did not know
00:01:04
prior to the last trial. So, that is a huge advantage we didn't have the first time around. And if they
00:01:10
testify to something differently than they did the first time, we can use that transcript impeach him.
